The Most Unusual Places to Stay

Ever dreamed of sleeping inside a giant potato?

In Idaho, you actually can.

The Big Idaho Potato Hotel is a six-ton potato-shaped structure turned into a cozy one-bedroom stay.

It’s got air conditioning, a fireplace, and even a cow-themed bathroom.

Originally a marketing stunt, it’s now a viral Airbnb sensation.

It’s weird, it’s wonderful, and it’s definitely not your average spud.

How about sleeping in a UFO?

In Sweden’s Treehotel, you can stay in a flying saucer suspended among the trees.

It’s a sleek, silver pod with a retractable staircase and panoramic windows.

Inside, it’s surprisingly modern with space-themed decor and room for a family.

It’s like camping in the future—minus the aliens.

Perfect for sci-fi lovers or anyone who wants to feel out of this world.

In the Netherlands, you can sleep inside a giant wine barrel.

At Hotel de Vrouwe van Stavoren, old wine casks have been converted into cozy hotel rooms.

Each barrel once held over 14,000 liters of wine.

Now, they’re fitted with beds, bathrooms, and even mini living rooms.

It’s rustic, romantic, and a little tipsy—without the hangover.

Wine lovers, this one’s for you.

Ever wanted to sleep underwater?

At The Manta Resort in Zanzibar, you can.

Their underwater room floats in the Indian Ocean, with a submerged bedroom surrounded by glass walls.

You’ll fall asleep watching tropical fish swim by.

Above water, there’s a sun deck and lounge area.

It’s part luxury suite, part private island, and 100% unforgettable.

Just don’t forget your sea legs.

In Bolivia, you can stay in a hotel made entirely of salt.

Palacio de Sal, located on the edge of the Uyuni Salt Flats, is built from salt bricks—even the

furniture is salty.

The walls, beds, and even the bar are sculpted from compressed salt blocks.

It’s surreal, minimalist, and surprisingly comfortable.

Just don’t lick the walls.

Seriously, they ask you not to.

Want to sleep in a crane?

In Amsterdam, the Faralda Crane Hotel offers luxury suites inside a 50-meter-high harbor crane.

Each suite is uniquely designed, and there’s even a rooftop hot tub with panoramic views of the city.

The crane can rotate, giving you a different view every time.

It’s industrial chic meets sky-high luxury.

Not for the faint of heart—or those afraid of heights.

In Australia, you can sleep in a zoo—literally.

At Jamala Wildlife Lodge in Canberra, your room might share a window with a lion or a cheetah.

The lodge is part of a conservation effort, and the animals are just inches away, separated by thick

glass.

It’s thrilling, immersive, and surprisingly safe.

You’ll never forget waking up to a tiger’s stare.

It’s the wildest sleepover ever.
